The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has released a heavily redacted version of its Congressional Budget Justification Book for Fiscal Year 2009 in response to a request under the Freedom of Information Act.
Although most of the substance of the document has been withheld, a number of details of interest (to some) have been preserved.

Budget books for several subsequent years have also been released and will be posted in coming days.
